KAUST boasts a very diverse and international community, and rightly so.
Last week, the KAUST schools, (ECC, Elementary and Secondary) celebrated a week of internationalism. A variety of events were organised by the Student Council:
- Initiation of the celebration with a lighting of a candle
- A compilation movie of students welcoming everyone to their countries
- International Desserts.
- PARADE of the nations.
The highlight of the week was definitely the parade on the last day, where all 3 schools + parents + KAUST executives came and participated in this parade. 70+ large flags were set up and people were organised into the country they would like to represent, and marched down the road:
The internationalism represented was quite overwhelming, as people came to school dressed up in traditional clothing wearing large smiles as they got to hold their flags amidst such a diverse community. Certainly, a very large percentage of the population represents Saudi Arabia, but that can only expected and does not affect the bias of our international community:
Only a few of the flags.

Saudi Arabia Representatives!
